A rare parcel of approximately 19.87 acres of Grade 3 arable land, accessed via a gated entrance off Acres Lane. The land is laid to permanent pasture with a central pond, offering an established water source and productive grazing or cropping potential for agricultural use or long-term holding.
Importantly, remnants of a Roman camp within the site are a scheduled monument (entry 1014375). This designation is likely to restrict development potential and imposes statutory protections; any change of use or works would require consent from the relevant authorities. There are no services connected to the land, so prospective buyers should budget for any installation costs if required.
The property is offered freehold and will be sold by online auction (end date 12 noon on 23/07/25), subject to auction conditions, special conditions and any sale prior. An overage clause is understood to exist (30% for 30 years) in favour of the current owners — full details are in the legal pack and must be reviewed before bidding. Buyers should also note obligatory buyer/admin fees (£6,360 inc. VAT) and search fee reimbursement (£136.60 inc. VAT) payable on completion.
This parcel suits agricultural operators, land investors and those seeking a significant countryside holding close to Chester. The absence of services, the scheduled monument status and the overage clause are material considerations — ideal for buyers who value land for farming, conservation, or long-term asset appreciation rather than immediate redevelopment.
